Martin (John Amplas), a young man who looks around 20-years-old, boards a train in Indianapolis, Indiana for New York. At night, he breaks into a sleeping car and sedates a woman with a syringe full of narcotics. She struggles, but he tells her not to struggle or be upset because she wont feel pain. After a few minutes, the woman falls asleep, and Martin has sex with the unconscious woman. Afterwards, he slices her wrists with a razor blade so he can drink her blood. The woman bleeds to death in her sleep.
In the morning, the train stops in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania where Martin disembarks. He is met by Tata Cuda (Lincoln Maazel) an elderly and hostile old man who claims to be his cousin from the Old World. Together, they travel by another train to the town of Braddock, a dying industrial suburb. They walk to Cuda's large house where he shows Martin his living quarters. Cuda then accuses Martin of being an 84-year-old vampire from his old country. He has taken in Martin because he is family, but tells him, "First I will save your soul. Then I shall destroy you." Martin denies being a vampire and implies that Cuda is merely his uncle rather than his cousin. Cuda then puts up strings of garlic on the doors to his and his granddaughter's room, and then holds up a small cross when Martin approaches him. Martin takes away the cross, and even takes a bite of the garlic mocking these attempts by saying bitterly, "There's no real magic... ever". Cuda tells Martin that he can come and go as he pleases. But he also warns Martin that he will kill him if he kills anyone in Braddock. He also tells Martin to stay away from his granddaughter Christine (Christine Forrest), whom arrives home from her job that evening.
Cuda introduces Christine to Martin, but also warns her to stay away from him. But Christine instead strikes up a friendship with Martin who confides in her about his vampire heritage. When Cuda later confirms Martin's claims to be a vampire, Christine, not surprisingly, refuses to believe either one. She thinks that Cuda and the other members of her family have driven Martin to insanity by making him think that he is a vampire. It is never revealed if Martin really is a vampire, or just a shy and lonely youth with troubled issues. Christine is the only person that Martin gets the courage to talk to. When Christine's boyfriend Arthur (Tom Savini) arrives at the house for dinner, Martin stops talking and backs away despite Arthur's attempt at a conversation. Christine later confides in Martin that she hopes to leave Braddock someday with Arthur, even though Martin points out that Arthur treats her badly and is both verbally and physically abusive towards her.
When Christine sees that Martin won't talk to anyone else, she buys him a phone which he installs in his room. Martin begins to repeatingly call a radio talk show where he describes what it's like to be a vampire. He becomes known on the radio as "the Count" to all the listeners. But the patronizing host (Michael Gornick) thinks he's just crazy.
Martin gets a job at Cuda's grocery store of stocking shelves, hauling boxes around, and even gets to be a delivery boy for some of the customers. One of his customers is a certain Abby Santini (Elyane Nadeau), who becomes taken in with Martin. She is a very friendly young woman who is depressed when she tells Martin that her husband is unfaithful. But Martin still does not have the nerve to talk with her, so she is happy to have someone to confide in with her life problems. Martin phones the radio show host to describe his infatuation with the housewife and senses that she wants to have sex with him. When the radio show host asks Martin if it is a sexual problem that he has involving women criticizing him during sex, Martin replies that he has never had sex with a woman who was awake.
One day, Martin travels by train to outside Braddock to look for victims. At a supermarket, he follows a young woman (Sarah Venable) home to her posh suburban house. He sees the woman's husband (Richard Rubenstein) leave for a long business trip, and Martin decides this would be the right time for more feeding. Martin returns to the house after dark and breaks in through the garage door. But it is Martin who gets the surprise when he bursts into her bedroom to find her in bed with her adulterous lover Lewis (Al Levitsky). After a vicious struggle, Martin jabs both of them with hyprodermic needles with narcotics, and waits for the drugs to take affect. He drags the unconscious body of Lewis from the house to a clump of trees across the street where he kills him by shoving a broken tree branch into his neck and drinks his blood. Martin returns to the house where he has sex with the unconscious woman. But out of compassion and pity, he decides to let her live.
Martin begins to have romantic monochrome visions of his vampire past (real or imagined), where he drained blood from a young woman and was chased through the streets of a nameless European town by a torch-lit mob.
During one Sunday at church, Cuda brings home Father Howard (George A. Romero) who asks him about the possibility of exorcism and demon possession. Father Howard calls upon the elderly Father Zulemans (Clifford Forrest, Jr.) over at Cuda's request. Together, Cuda and Zulemans confront Martin his bedroom and attempt to perform an exorcism on him. At this point, Martin remembers (another real or imaginary flashback), in the Old Country of people trying to perform an exorcism on him, and he flees them. Martin then flees from Cuda and Zuelmas as well. A little later that night, Martin terrorizes Cuda in a children's playground when he puts on a Dracula cape and puts false fangs into his mouth to pretend that he really is a vampire.
One day, Martin finally musters the courage to talk with Mrs. Santini during a routine delivery to her house where he tells her that he's aware of her attempts to seduce him and wants now to have sex with her. After having sex for the first time, Mrs. Santini becomes more depressed for she tells Martin that her husband just left her because she discovered that she cannot bear children, and that her desires towards him are based on sex and nothing else. But Martin wants to stay with her and help her move on with her life. Martin tells the radio show host about his affair with the housewife and that he no longer has the urge to attack other women.
Meanwhile, Arthur meets with Cuda and tells him that he wants Christine to leave town with him so they can get married and start a family. But Christine becomes angry at Cuda when he tells Arthur that insanity runs in their family and he shouldn't consider having children with her. Shortly afterwards, Christine packs up and leaves Braddock for New York with Arthur despite Martin telling her that Arthur is abusive towards her. But her mind is made up. Before leaving, Christine tells Martin that she really has no ill feelings towards him and just wants to make a fresh start with her life. She says goodbye to him and promises to write. But Martin knows that with an abusive and possessive man in Christine's life, she probably won't.
Depressed over losing his one true friend, Martin phones the radio show host and tells him that he's getting "shaky" and wants to go out looking for more victims. That night, Martin travels to a rough crime-ridden area of Pittsburgh and attacks two derelicts in a alley, injecting them with narcotics. He kills one of them by silting the bum's wrist and drinking his blood. Martin is about to kill the second one when a police car shows up and gives chase. Martin narrowly escapes during a long chase on foot which leads from the garbage strew streets and through a local store. Martin runs into an old warehouse where a drug deal is going down. A shootout between the two cops and the three thugs begins where all of them are killed, leaving Martin as the sole survivor who casually walks away from the carnage.
One day, Martin finds Mrs. Santini dead in her bathtub, after she had slit her writs with a razor blade. Martin anonymously calls the police to report the body and leaves. He phones the radio show host one final time to say that he really doesn't need friends or people to talk to for he is his own person. But when Cuda learns about Mrs. Santini's suicide, is mistakenly thinks Martin killed her and made it look like a suicide as he's done before. Cuda walks into Martin's room while he is asleep and kills him by hammering a wooden stake through Martin's heart.
Cuda buries Martin's body in his back garden, while over the closing credits various voices from people are heard talking to the radio show host asking the whereabouts of "the Count".
我就想问问谜语人，既然你都会做炸弹了，为什么不最后在人群聚集的广场也放几个汽车炸弹呢，等逃生的人都来了再引爆不就完了。非得请一群没什么战斗力的人来射杀群众，这不就是摆明了让batman来做英雄吗。如果拒绝走传统超英电影的那一套，麻烦至少先打磨下剧本吧，剧情上的硬伤让我实在是看不下去。细想一下蝙蝠侠从头到位有做任何有实际作用的事情吗，一直被谜语人带着走，结尾强行挽救。摄影和美术确实挺独特的，但是好几个场景极其刻意，叙事节奏强行拉慢，情绪也起不来。涅槃乐队也不是就是丧，人家虽然歌词写得颓废，但是演出还是很有激情的。这片子从头看到尾我内心没有一点波动。
实在是有点拖沓，目睹隔壁阿姨中途上了两次厕所。感觉到一个拥有着朴素正义感的普通人类，在汹涌的暴力和犯罪狂潮面前，深深的无力感和依然坚定的信念。最后洪水的几个镜头，都很有宗教意味。一哥带着面具比不戴帅。但，看到最后，我只想问，在你们哥谭，下雨天打伞判几年？？？
前半小时的问题在于，往一个诡异的方向用力过猛。
一般吧。可看可不看，比诺兰第一集是差远了。很多节点都是好莱坞旧时代的技巧，特别是情感节点，还有一些很儿童智商的对白，许多技巧都不太高级。真的是抒情多，太多了！kiss都这么多，也是没想到。好久没有听过音乐这么满这么俗的“大黑暗片”了。前几十分钟像极了watchmen的节奏。还用了通俗歌曲。稍微有意思的大概是雨夜追车戏。70分钟之后，节奏开始稍微让人难受，因为太慢了，满脑问题，诸如如何换衣服吃饭睡觉吗导演其实是不是想拍机器人等等～反叛关进去对话那段快睡着了。演的哪里不对，大败笔！多送男主一个🌟，愿他下部演更好。
疫情的隔离突如其来，母女间的隔离早就存在，照顾与被照顾的身份在转换。变故逼人成长，陪伴消解磨难。和阳光普照很像，这很钟孟宏。
贾静雯的表达好细腻好真实 疫情之下我们都需要互相支持和救赎
只能说贾静雯的演技托起了这么一部节奏慢，讲话慢（可能这就是台湾腔吧）的电影，因为身边家人出现过精神疾病的症状，所以我只能说贾静雯演的尚可，但是说真的医院里的病友太让我出戏了。最后那个游玩遇到水难好像也是前些年台湾本土热门事情，也炒过一阵子。最后吐槽一下防疫，怎么算女儿都是密集居然只要居家隔离而且可以到处跑，所以防疫做的是真的烂。一部中规中矩的电影，只能说贾静雯赶上了好时候，矮个子里面拔高个。
本想冲着刘冠廷看的，结果出现没两分钟，电影里所有人面无表情并且做作，都在背书的感觉，而且画风十分诡异，不理解为什么会有这个分数，难懂。
蝙蝠侠和猫女没必要来这一波感情线吧，有不同于以往超级英雄的情节走向，但是诗意也只是传达了一点也没有被文艺到，而且对猫女的刻画贴那么近的展示身材还是一贯的男性凝视，依旧令人不适，就是没必要吧，反而寡姐那样自然而然依然性感十足。
7分。一个场景显得这个蝙蝠侠很弱智，法尔克内说他老爸是坏人他居然就信了，还质问忠实的管家。管家说了几句他突然又悟了。
疫情的隔离突如其来，母女间的隔离早就存在，照顾与被照顾的身份在转换。变故逼人成长，陪伴消解磨难。和阳光普照很像，这很钟孟宏。
看时边百爪挠心边恐怖感，好像有被传递讯息但没理解什么。刘冠廷抓蛇和陈以文“你有没有考过驾照”最喜，哈哈
皇后区的友好邻居变成了宇宙的，现实世界资本的侵蚀之下，只有哥谭还维持着它的地域性。
疫情下的荒诞故事的确很适合用情节剧去表现，通篇温柔的光影和流水般的情感有女性主义的意象，加上母亲的主题仿佛在看台湾冷感版艾慕杜华的《论尽我阿妈》。“每个人都有难堪的过去，只是大小不同而已。”快要崩塌的结尾用刻意的反高潮给人一丝生的希望，对照台湾目前的防疫现实，有理由认同钟孟宏关于“你永远不知道明天和意外哪个先来”的悲观，因为海峡对岸和导演作为摄影指导的另一部作品《同学麦娜丝》的主演一样“吴铭添”。
三星半吧。没有到最佳影片的程度，也没看到惊艳的镜头和表演，跟剧情一样，都是一个情绪。2022.02.12
无功无过到除了「贾静雯演得真好啊！」之外想不出别的评论。（有病就要治？
看开头的时候总在想这种有关疫情的偏向写实类的电影十几二十几年之后会不会也成为时代的产物 疫情引出了看似平和家庭下的一系列矛盾 母女关系在矛盾中慢慢变化
生活总是如瀑布般毫无征兆地激流而下，好不容易平稳片刻，你以为峰回路转，便随即又激流回荡。
我不能剧透，只能说真的很好。但是如果你对蝙蝠侠的定义是动作片演员，建议去看无脑爽片吧，因为这部电影真的需要你耐心的观看。
贾静雯演技很棒，配乐很好。
